Manage memberships

View and edit user memberships

The last few columns in the table display the groups, roles and teams that each user belongs to. These memberships determine what the user can access. If a membership column only contains a single object for a user, the cell will display the object's icon and title. Select the object to view its details in a side panel.

If a cell contains multiple objects, it will display an X results button. Select this to display the objects in a separate popover. You can then select one to view its details.

Note

For Team and Team Member items, select in the popover to open those items in the Data Explorer app.

Groups

A group defines a set of permissions that grant read/write access to specific Alloy features, e.g. the items of a design/interface, layers, item forms. One or more access policies may also apply to the group. They define which items of a specific design/interface are visible to the group, based each item's attribute values.

If a user belongs to a group, they inherit its permissions directly.

Open a group

Select a group to view its details in a side panel. This displays the following sections:

• General - the properties of the current group.

• Users - the direct members of the current group.

• Roles - each of these inherits the permissions of the current group.

Use the buttons in each section to Edit their contents and Add more to the list.

To delete the current group, select Delete in the top-right corner. This is only possible if the group's Context is Customer.

Roles

A role provides a way to link users to multiple groups at once. It combines the permissions and access policies of all groups that are linked to it. It typically represents a position, persona or responsibility within your organisation. By keeping your groups minimal and modular, you can reuse them across multiple roles.

If a user belongs to a role, they inherit the combined permissions of all its groups.

Open a role

Select a role to view its details in a side panel. This displays the following sections:

• General - the properties of the current role.

• Users - the direct members of the current role.

• Groups - the current role inherits the combined permissions of all these.

Use the buttons in each section to Edit their contents and Add more to the list.

To delete the current role, select Delete in the top-right corner.

Teams

Teams are used for task assignment. A team determines which jobs and inspections are presented to a user for them to perform. Unlike groups and roles, teams are actually items of the Teams design! When you add a user to a team, an item of the Team Members design is automatically created to represent them. It links the user and team items together.

Open a team

Select a team to view its details in a side panel. This displays many sections, including:

• General - the attributes of the current team. Select Edit to rename it.

• Parents - every item that links to the team, including assigned tasks and assets the team is responsible for.

• Team Leaders - items representing each user that belongs to the team. While there are no practical differences between leaders and members, the distinction can be useful when assigning work or creating reports.

• Team Members - items representing each user that belongs to the team.

To add one or more users to the team, select Add team leaders or Add team members.

To learn more about managing teams, see Teams in Alloy Web.
